DREAM

I don't wanna wake up Tonight will be the night I'll be a star (Be a star) Dreaming of my rise I'll be shooting pass them all I've come so far (Come so far) I don't wanna wake up My wishes made real (Sing it loud) Backtrack to that kid with the backpack Known fact, was unknown in the class, Sat 'round the back, all the kids doing math Tick tock, in a flash, adding up when he slacked "Pens down", had sketches along the sheet An artist, he's drawn to this, his world Ain't no sleeping, etched a dream on his soul "I'mma show 'em" Signed it "TM" at the end of the page Now I spit phlegm at the mic Mighty pen 'round the AMs REM, got a dream that I had saved them With these sounds that I found, thoughts of back then Got upstaged by those kids Now on stage, I got dibs I can hear them all sing My name, origins of a savior I live here as proof that I'm him I don't wanna wake up Tonight will be the night I'll be a star (Be a star) Dreaming of my rise I'll be shooting pass them all I've come so far (Come so far) I don't wanna wake up My wishes made real (Sing it loud) Looking up at all of the stars Bling-bling, zoom pass in their cars Sometimes it all seems so far-fetched I'm out here like a dog, chasing with my heart racing All I've got to show are these songs With the streams on the low Seems dim, need that growth Light beams, for my growth From the ground, out I'll go Strobe lights, headlights on a brand new car So bright, it shines, man, I feel so starved Dangling this scene, new lines I'll carve Onto this page, it's all a start Revved up, I'm up until the end No stops, I've got until my end To prove, how soon until my end? No time, I'll find what's mine, I bet Eyes green, no veggies They tell me "your day is coming" Keep coming with tracks Already, it's heavy, weighing on me (Keep it going) Can you tell me what do I lack? Can I get me onto them stages? I fake it, I'm smiling My mind will take me back to that kid What'd he think? Oh boy, I'm thinking I failed him I see them haters, they made it I'm coy, but Lord knows I'd trade it My life for theirs, just to make it I don't wanna wake up Tonight will be the night I'll be a star (Be a star) Dreaming of my rise I'll be shooting pass them all I've come so far (Come so far) I don't wanna wake up My wishes made real (Sing it loud)
